Advisory Committees of the FCC

Advisory committees provide federal departments and agencies with access to expertise and advice on a broad range of issues affecting policies and programs. The public, in return, is afforded an opportunity to provide inputinto a process that may form the basis for government decisions. Most advisory committees at the FCC are established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 92-463). Other advisory groups are either exempted from FACA by Congress or are task forces not subject to FACA.
